Strictly as an observer to your leak issue, I had PM’d someone in this group back in August of last year with a potential means to find out who the leaker was. It didn’t involve having to re-encode or add pixels. I had even tested myself with a DVD ISO and it worked. Never heard back from this member, though, so either he didn’t care, didn’t think it would work, just dropped off of the forum OR (drum roll, please!) this guy WAS the leaker and didn’t like that I found a way to catch him! HAHA! I sincerely hope that last reason is 1000% wrong.
That being said…WHO CAN YOU TRUST? Any one of you on thread could be the culprit, right? Hell, maybe that was the guy I told this method to and now he’s wise to it. Oh, well. I like a good conspiracy theory.
So you know, the only way my method would work is if one (trusted) person did this and then gave everyone their ISO. It seems you already had plans to give each member their own ISO with an added pixel, so this way would be the same just without a pixel encoded in. << not sure how he was going to do that to an ISO >>
